International Children's Book Day, children's reading is facing the challenge of the Times

April 2, is the International Children's Book Day. This special day is to commemorate the Danish fairy tale Master Anderson, but also to arouse people's attention to children's reading. So it is necessary to talk about children's reading at this time.

Reporter visits found that the content of all kinds of children's books are serious, while children's reading app for children to bring fun, but unfavorable reading habit.
Children read most of the book only look at pictures, do not read words. A beautifully painted picture book, sold dozens of yuan, turned over a few. "In the interview, most parents feel that high prices are secondary, children's reading content can not meet the needs of children."
Ms. Li, who only occasionally takes her 4-year-old son to the bookstore, often lets her children experience the children's book app. Ms. Li's mobile phone downloaded nearly 10 children to read the app, son is particularly interested in, in order to avoid affecting eyesight, Ms. Li every day to play two times, every time half an hour, while playing and learning, now can speak a few English words.
Educational experts believe that most app software is made by it people with no education background, which attracts children's attention by means of games, but ignores the rules of learning. Whether it is electronic reading or paper reading, it is recommended that parents should accompany their children in person, to create a good reading atmosphere for children, the most important way to cultivate children's reading habits.
In fact, for children, the importance of reading need not be emphasized, there have been many kinds of elaboration.
Reading can promote the development of children's brains, improve their language ability, ability to learn, think and imagination, and shape their values and outlook on life. This is the explanation of the scientists.
Reading can't change the length of a person's life, but can change the width of life; Reading cannot change the starting point of life, but it can change the end of life. This is a poetic expression.
However, children's reading is facing the challenge of the Times. A survey by the Nielsen company showed that children aged 11 to 13 were ranked sixth in their hobbies, after television, games, online video, sports and mobile phones. The findings were published at the Shanghai International Children's Fair last year. It is an indisputable fact that children's attention is being dispersed by more and more electronic products.
Children's reading not only faces external competition, but also its "ecology" is complicated. On the one hand, the type and number of children's books in the country is very rich, far more than any previous era, on the other hand, shoddy, "children are not suitable" publish the same many, the phenomenon of good and bad is more prominent.
Children are like a piece of white paper, painting what pattern, on what color, what kind of scenery presents. The spiritual nourishment and the value conception of the child period determine the development direction of the whole life. So, we expect children to read, should be a kind of beautiful reading. And the beauty of reading, it is through a book of excellent books to achieve.
Excellent books, carrying the constant upward values of human civilization, passing through the time to wash still sparkling knowledge and experience. A good book can nourish a child's mind, and this nourishment may outweigh the teachings of thousands. Excellent books, can let children see the Sihai, think of the eternal, bring fresh life experience. Beautiful reading, can let the children build up abundantRich spiritual world, shape plump personality.
True, in the digital age, the meaning of "book" has been diverse. But whether it's a traditional paper book or an ebook, a good book is still the root of children's reading. In any era, should not be satisfied with the shallow information acquisition, but should be in the deep reading of the foundation of life, so that the beauty of reading smear life background. "Read more books and book well" will never go out of style.
